Burberry’s Shearling Bonanza

I don’t need to tell you about the clothes at Burberry–you probably saw them this morning. I don’t need to go on about Mary Kate Olsen and Kristen Stewart. Or that I think it’s silly Anna Wintour flew to London for a single collection and I can’t tell you about the dog in the front [...]
